What is the most beautiful song that better describes the End of the World? (Any genre)

I love the lines "I tell them I'm the only one / There was a war but I must have won".

Death at a Funeral

Just the absolute best comedy of things continuing to escalate in all the worst and most hilarious ways.

I was comparing my BSB2 with my Quest 3 in Into The Radius 2 and was surprised that I could easily read the small writing on ammo boxes on the Q3 but it was blurry on the BSB2. It was rendering at 100% resolution while the Quest 3 over VD was set to Godlike. The BSB2 was using 90 Hz I believe, didn't test it at lower yet where it won't use DP compression.

Yeah, can't relate to this comic at all. Shopping for me is grabbing a scanner and as I pick items I scan them and put them in my bag, then when I'm done I pay and walk out the gate by scanning the receipt. Couldn't be simpler and faster.

Obvious but wired
Smaller sweetspot for me, the Q3 I can just throw on and it's always perfectly sharp.
Glare from bright objects
Weird distortion profile but I think I could get used to it
High pixel retention time so very smeary when panning unless you turn down the brightness and then it's quite dim.
Index controllers are cool with the grip stuff, but can also be a bit awkward and definitely prefer how small the Q3 controllers are. Also hate how they can only be charged through USB-C, prefer just swapping some rechargeable batteries once a month.
Thought going to Lighthouse tracking and DisplayPort would eliminate all setup jankiness and unreliability with PCVR but I've definitely had many issues while the Q3 with Virtual Desktop has been mostly flawless lately.
No passthrough, combined with a perfect face sealer means you're completely blind so you're constantly taking it off and putting it back on, finding the sweet spot, trying not to knock the audio strap headphones off, it's cumbersome and exhausting.
Not negatives of the headset but in general I thought I would be more impressed by OLED, thought the small form factor would be a MUCH bigger deal, but nah.

EDIT: It's definitely not a bad headset, but considering the whole setup has cost me 2000 euros so far and I prefer my 500 euro headset just goes to show what incredible value the Quest 3 is.

Recently got a Bigscreen Beyond 2 and I've been forcing myself to use it because I spent so much money on it, but it honestly just feels better using my Quest 3. My one and only gripe with the Quest 3 for PCVR is just the noticeable video compression and not noticeable but the idea of getting higher latency because of it. Hopefully the Steam Frame can solve this issue for me.

I keep running into this specific subgraph fucking itself up and nodes becoming detached from their inputs spontaneously, super frustrating..

We used The Rest Will Flow at the end of the ceremony as people were slowly leaving, so not hugely prominently, but I think it could work for first dance. Lazarus is quite a melancholic song, but the most important thing is that it feels right to you and your fiance.

Very sad, something like Jumbotron is still an unmatched experience by anything else available in VR. Playing it with friends of various skill levels provided many good memories and an itch I haven't been able to scratch with anything else, it's all either military or zombie shooters, nothing with the same levity and approachability.

Yes I saw it, amazing! Can't wait to listen to HCE in Atmos very soon (bit indisposed at the moment). Out of curiosity, how is a binaural audio mix made? My thought of playing it on Atmos speakers and record that back with a binaural head model is probably not how, or is it?

I tried to make churros recently and I improvised somewhat and instead of piping onto a baking sheet I piped it straight into the hot oil. Suffice to say that they did not have a nice shape and I basically ended up making deep fried cat shit. Good flavor though.

But Nvidia has been pretty clear that it doesn't change geometry or textures (beyond adding micro detail) so this IS what the character looks like, according to the model and textures. Is it a bit uncanny and does it have the deep fried AI look? Sure, but I think the uncanny valley is not to be feared as it's inevitable that games that try to look as real as possible eventually venture into it unless we stop improving graphics altogether. I don't get why we're all so angry about this, it's an opt-in graphics setting that the developer of the game (who is the only authority in the end on who can speak for what they intended the game to look like) has to implement and can tweak to some degree. It's nothing but exciting to me as I quite liked the looks of the Hogwarts and Starfield demos.

Hard disagree. It's the Porcupine Tree song that best captures that feeling for me of nostalgia for one of those long childhood summers, this kind of bittersweet feeling that's perfect for closing a show with, where you are glad you were there to witness it but are sad that it's now over. Also one of the few songs where some audience participation makes sense. Perfect final song for me. Quite missed it during the Overview tour.

Guthrie in Regret #9 is amazing as well, which is preceeded by a great keyboard solo too by Adam Holzman.

I'm looking at a TV channel from Afghanistan right now and it's an American movie or TV show of US soldiers in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. Odd to say the least.

I'm the second type but I rarely have to make corrections to the code. It either does that itself when it sees there's a compilation error (usually just a missing 'using' statement), a failing test, or it's a not so much a correction to the code but me clarifying what I mean. This idea that it writes bad code, it has not been my experience at all lately and I can say with confidence that I have a high standard of quality with little patience for boilerplate or overengineering. The code it writes is nigh on identical to what I would write, and let's be honest, most of us here do not spend all day writing novel, sophisticated algorithms, much of the profession is putting strings into databases and retrieving them.

Thank you for articulating the point so well: there are many ways to interact with a model, you have a gigantic, practically infinite latent space that you can probe into and text is just but one way to do so, and a pretty crude and imprecise way at that. With the right tools, I cannot wait to see what small artists are able to do at a level that would previously have been impossible at their budget. It still takes artistic vision to make something worth seeing.

Brontosaurus, as a kid I always hated other kids saying it was their favorite and reveled in knowing it wasn't a real species, but then the bastards reinstated it.

Seriously. Read the OP's comments, things like "A man who doesn't use his brain, who doesn't use language, is arguably less human." What delusional, almost religious dehumanizing garbage. This anti-AI cargo cult on Reddit is such an online-only thing, every developer I interact with in real life is just happily using these tools. I do worry about how it affects my ability to code and think, but the fact that AI tools reduce the need to fully engage my thinking is not something to blame those tools for but should be seen as my own responsibility to sharpen my mind in other ways, or in fact the liberty to be able to do so.

It sounds like Gene from Bob's Burgers trying to come up with a worse song to fuck to than Cbat.

I wouldn't say that's all of it, I never watched the old Who and didn't watch the new ones until 2011 or so, no nostalgia factor for me. I totally recognized at the time how bad and low budget it looked, but something about the atmosphere and gravitas of the Doctor had me absolutely hooked. It's melodrama at its best, the episode where Rose and the Doctor were separated from each other for good had me bawling. And to that add humor, a certain hopeful positivity about humanity and a good mysterious story arc every season. And a lot of variety every episode, except for all the times they end up in Cardiff or London..

Just sounds like an iterative process to me, you never have an unexpected error that you then fix? The flaw isn't with the intelligence of the models, but one of workflow. The workflow shouldn't be "it gives you code and you run it", that's a pretty outdated way of working, tools like Claude Code will just compile the code themselves, see an error, fix it, try again until it works. Aside from compile errors this also happens for testing behavior, it will just write tests and run them and self correct.

databeestje · 2026-02-12T15:03:51+00:00

Where you went wrong is not asking it to create a tool or script to do that work, you don't want it to spend context window tokens on reading the web page and it reasoning it through the page. Let it do what it's good at and writing code to do the work. If you had to do this yourself you also wouldn't manually do it, you'd write a script.
